ALBEMARLE WKN: 890167 ISIN: US0126531013 Forum: Aktien Thema: Hauptdiskussion
Denke das hier war der Auslöser Aber nicht sicher SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AN URGENT INSPECTION REGARDING SAFETY CONDITIONS AT THE COMPANY ALBEMARLE IN THE ANTOFAGASTA REGION TO Mr. Andrés León Riquelme Acting Director of the National Service of Geology and Mining. Mr. Pablo Zenteno Muñoz National Director of the Labor Directorate. FROM Mr. Jaime Araya Guerrero Member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Republic – District 3. Antofagasta, August 6, 2025 To whom it may concern: I am writing to you in my capacity as a Member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Republic and representative of the Region of Antofagasta, exercising the authority granted by Article 9 of Constitutional Organic Law of the National Congress No. 18,918, in response to a serious complaint I have received. According to this complaint, the lives and health of workers in my region are at risk due to deficient safety conditions, which must be inspected urgently. The complaint concerns a very serious incident at Albemarle’s chemical plant located in La Negra. The incident is said to have occurred when an acid pipe burst, exposing workers to a possible fatal accident. In addition to the background information I received, one can observe poor safety conditions and deficient maintenance of the facilities, to the point that a motor can be seen operating with its propeller uncovered while running. As you can imagine, these are unacceptable working conditions for the employees—especially given the area in which they work, as this is a company that extracts lithium. Therefore, it is completely inexplicable and constitutes incomprehensible negligence, bordering on willful misconduct (“dolo”), to maintain such precarious conditions. Along with requesting the urgent intervention of both oversight agencies—so that the lives and health of the men and women working at that plant are protected in a coordinated and proper manner—I strongly request that Albemarle be expressly warned that any investigative procedure aimed at identifying those who filed this complaint anonymously violates the Constitution and labor legislation and that, accordingly, no type of reprisal can exist. The company must limit itself to correcting and remedying the breaches and deviations that have seriously endangered the integrity of its own workers. Given the recent loss of six lives in Rancagua, neither SERNAGEOMIN nor the Labor Directorate can remain inactive or delay their field actions. The safety and lives of people who work in mining must be our highest priority. I trust in a decisive and timely action by both agencies, one that will give workers and their families the peace of mind that their fundamental rights are being safeguarded. I would appreciate being kept informed, in detail, of the actions you will undertake to protect the lives and health of Albemarle’s workers. Sincerely, Jaime Araya Guerrero Member of the Chamber of Deputies
Es tauchen Gerüchte über ein ernsthaftes Sicherheitsproblem bei der Lithiumproduktion in Chile auf. Inklusive der Einstellung von Teilen der Produktion. "Multiple market participants report a major safety incident at Albemarle's Chile lithium ops, with part of production suspended. ALB Chile = ~24% of Chile’s 2025 LCE output, with the majority exported to China. On a pro-rated basis for the 4 months left in ’25, that’s c.7% of Chile’s remaining supply or ~3% of China’s annual demand. We can update if confirmation is received, but the rumour appears to have already played some role in the recent rise in lithium carbonate futures prices."
